But when the magicians tried to produce gnats by their secret arts, they could not. Since the gnats were on people and animals everywhere,

The magicians tried to produce gnats by doing their magic tricks. But they couldn’t. The gnats stayed on people and animals everywhere.

The magicians tried by their secret arts to produce gnats, but they could not. So there were gnats on man and beast.

Pharaoh’s magicians tried to do the same thing with their secret arts, but this time they failed. And the gnats covered everyone, people and animals alike.

The magicians tried to produce gnats using their occult practices, but they could not. The gnats remained on people and animals.

Then Pharaoh also summoned wise men and sorcerers, and the magicians of Egypt by their secret arts did the same thing.

The magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians.

So all the king’s wise men came in, but they were unable to read the writing or to make known its interpretation to the king.

In the morning he was troubled, so he called for all the diviner-priests of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but no one could interpret them for him.

But where, oh where, are your wise men? Let them tell you, let them find out what the LORD who commands armies has planned for Egypt.

So he said to them,“ I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

The wise men replied to the king,“ There is no man on earth who is able to disclose the king’s secret, for no king, regardless of his position and power, has ever requested such a thing from any magician, astrologer, or wise man.What the king is asking is too difficult, and no one exists who can disclose it to the king, except for the gods– but they don’t live among mortals!”

Persist in trusting your amulets and your many incantations, which you have faithfully recited since your youth! Maybe you will be successful– maybe you will scare away disaster.You are tired out from listening to so much advice. Let them take their stand– the ones who see omens in the sky, who gaze at the stars, who make monthly predictions– let them rescue you from the disaster that is about to overtake you!

When the magicians, astrologers, wise men, and diviners entered, I recounted the dream for them. But they were unable to make known its interpretation to me.
